CppCon 2023 Attendees

CppCon is the largest annual gathering for the entire C++ community. The conference is organized by the C++ community and will attract a diverse group of attendees that are using C++ on a wide range of platforms/toolchains. CppCon is underwritten by the Standard C++  Foundation, a 501(c)6 not-for-profit organization set up to support the C++ software developer community and promote the understanding and use of modern, standard C++ on all compilers and platforms.

Your sponsorship will provide your company with enhanced visibility to the C++ community and show that you are helping keep the conference accessible to the widest audience.

The available sponsorship packages are listed below. If you have something in mind that doesn’t fit into one of these options, let us know; we are flexible and willing to work with you to design the sponsorship package that will help achieve your needs.

Note we have a different prospectus for Exhibiting, which focuses on providing enhanced engagement with CppCon attendees, and a dedicated prospectus for Video Sponsorships which leverages the largest C++ channel on YouTube.
